The Factor Model of Decentralization and Quality of Governance in European Union by Jože Benčina, Anja Mrđa Kovačič

“…Despite the small population observed, the factors showed quite good characteristics and provided a good starting point for further research. In this manner, it was shown that despite a small population, it is possible to develop factor models of suitable quality by using exploratory factor analysis in the sense of best practices.…”

Application of 5G to current differential protection of distribution network by Yuxiang LV, Yang YANG, Yawen DONG, Yucheng WANG

“…Driven by the strategy of grid as a Platform,Hub,and Sharing as well as the construction of Energy Internet and Ubiquitous power Internet of Things declared by Sate Grid Corporation of China,the intelligent distribution network evolves towards Distribution Internet of Things in a gridding and multi-source manner.The traditional distribution network protection and feeder automation barely meets the self-healing requirements of a strong distribution network.The current differential protection is prevailing due to its favorable quick-acting,sensitivity and selectivity.The existing communication solutions baring protection signals includes:fiber channel,230MHz/1.8GHz private wireless network,etc.However,the above methods are usually costly and perhaps with poor stability and low real-time performance.An realistic baring scheme for current differential protection of distribution network over the fifth generation communication system (5G) was proposed,where the of sampling data transmission between differential protection devices was realized based on 5G new radio technology.Thanks to the advantages of low latency,high capacity,security,etc.,5G-based differential protection can dynamically adjust the configuration to accommodate the topology changes,and thus can reduce the transformation and maintenance cost of distribution network.…”

Revenge pornography on the internet by Evelyne Wanjiku

“… Revenge pornography, which is mainly understood as the publication of nude or intimate pictures of another person without their consent, is a phenomenon that is increasing in occurrence and constantly changing in the manner in which it is carried out. In Kenya, due to the absence of a proper regulatory mechanism, perpetrators continue to carry out their activities with resounding impact and devastating effects on the victims. …”

Imagining alternative futures through the lens of food in the Afghan and Tajik Pamir mountains by Frederik J.W. Van Oudenhoven, L. Jamila Haider

“…This crisis of imagination partly springs from a narrow reading of history, which obscures much of the wealth of the Pamirs and its people, including elements crucial to their ability to develop in a sovereign manner. This paper explores a different development narrative, which emerges when the history of today’s Pamirs, its landscape, agriculture, diversity, and culture are understood, not in terms of empires, humanitarian threats or markets, but through the lens of food. …”

A disturbance suppression second-order penalty-like neurodynamic approach to distributed optimal allocation by Wenwen Jia, Wenbin Zhao, Sitian Qin

“…Then, based on a finite-time tracking technique, resource allocation constraints are handled by using a penalty parameter approach, and their global information is processed in a distributed manner via a multi-agent system. Compared with the existing neurodynamic approaches developed based on the projection theory, the proposed neurodynamic approach utilizes the penalty method and tracking technique to avoid introducing projection operators. …”

The Fundamenta compositionis Jean Kuhnaus 1703. Edition, Translation, and Commentary by Frederik Kranemann, Derek Remeš

“…Therefore the ultimate value of the Fundamenta is not its originality, but rather its explication of topics such as consonance and dissonance, modes, clausulae, cadences, invertible counterpoint, and fugue in a highly condensed, practical manner with numerous musical examples. The Fundamenta is thus an excellent resource for historically informed analysis and composition at the turn of the eighteenth century, before thoroughbass accompaniment displaced vocal polyphony as the dominant pedagogical paradigm in compositional instruction. …”

Philosophical biography : some problems of conceptualization by Irina Polyakova

“…It shows that philosophical biography has a variety of features, which limit the applications of chronology, rubrication and other principles of organizing in a linear manner the material of a biography. In this context such notions as “life-course”, “trajectory”, and “life-course trajectory” are analyzed; and the grounds of the unity of biographical content are revealed.This article claims that the unity of biographical content is determined by the author’s philosophical worldview. …”
